How the power of love can transform global healthcare outcomes
In short: When a loved one falls ill, the instinct to care is universal. This video explores how activists Edith Elliott and Shahed Alam are harnessing that natural impulse to bridge gaps in medical care.
Global health activists Edith Elliott and Shahed Alam discuss the potential of the world's untapped caregivers. Through their organization, Noora Health, they work alongside doctors and nurses in India and Bangladesh to provide hospital patients' families with essential caregiving skills.
Over the coming six years, the project intends to expand its reach to assist 70 million carers, who provide care for upwards of one billion individuals.
